For those who enjoy the thrill of ultimate iPhone customization after jailbreaking, a newly released and freejailbreak tweakcalledVioletby iOS developerMatoiDevis sure to turn some heads.
Heavily inspired by theAstolfojailbreak tweak by the now-departed jailbreak developer Alexa, Violet can apply any character picture you want to theSiriinterface, in addition to customization options for both Siri and SpringBoard.
In the /r/jailbreakrelease post, the developer says that Violet is intended to be “the maid for your iPhone,” and that it was originally intended only for a narrow circle of people, but is now finally open to the general public to download.
As you can see in the screenshot examples above, maid-dressed anime characters appear to replace the Siri orb when invoking the iPhone’s native voice assistant. Obviously, you don’t need to use anime characters if they aren’t your thing, since the tweak supports using any image of your choosing.
A separate image can be applied to what’s referred to as the welcome screen — the first thing you see after unlocking your device. This will be configured under the SpringBoard settings.
Once installed, users will find a dedicated preference pane for Violet in the Settings app where they can configure a number of options to their liking:
The primary preference pane is separated into two distinct sections that we’ll outline below:
SpringBoard
In the SpringBoard section, options include the following:
In the Siri section, options include the following:
At the bottom of the primary preference pane is a Respring button that users can utilize after making all the changes they want to Violet.
Violet isavailable as a free download from the Havoc repositoryvia your preferred package manager app and is open sourceon the developer’s GitHub page. At this time,jailbrokeniOS 14 devices are supported.
